The Shawshank Redemption In 8-bit

Ah, The Shawshank Redemption. That ubiquitous 1994 prison drama cited as a favourite movie by everyone from world leaders to Premier League footballers.

But don’t hold that against it. Based on the Stephen King story, Frank Darabont’s film takes up DVD shelf space the world over for good reason: it’s an universally appealing story, brimming with memorable characters, gripping scenes and interracial bromance.
